Late on Saturday Night, Pattaya Police were called to a Beer Bar located only meters away from the Station on Pattaya Beach Road, by a Danish resident who had just been threatened with a knife after refusing to purchase a fake branded wrist watch from a street vendor.

The vendor was able to escape but was soon located further up Pattaya Beach Road and was found to be aged only 16. The knife thought to have been used was recovered by Police.

Mr. Lars Jensen aged 50, who operates a Kitchen Utensil Business in Thailand, was at the Bar with his wife and friends when the vendor approached and offered the watches for sale. Mr. Jensen refused to purchase a watch which angered the vendor who produced the knife and threatened harm to Mr. Jensen.

Attempts to apprehend the vendor were made but he was able to escape until Police caught up with him moments later.

Police charged the 16 year old with possession of a deadly weapon and a Court appearance will follow in the near future.
